 There are two great political divisions, each antOgonistic to the other, these are Republicans and Democrats. The Republicans, more than 20 years controlled the government and shamefully Op. pressed the people of the U. 5. But republicanism began to de- cline, and democracy to grow un- til they found it exceedingly diff emit to sway their power; they saw that the crisis was coming and indeed was almost upon them and unless they could by some fraudulent means cripple the fast approaching ranks of Democracy, they would soon be driven from their luxurious positions. So they proposed a compensation of two hundred thousand dollars, if he would come to these bright, sunny states Of ours, and organize new political party, called the poor mans heaven (greenbackers) that they might thus weaken the ranks of democracy, And of course be- ing little rascally he could not resist the temptation. He came and executed the work, returned to his employers, received his money with joy and gladness, then turning to his party he said:
 Il have faithfully executed my work, have received my compen- sation; but the scheme will prove a failure" These words were q prophecy which has been fulfilled so plainly that they can't help wishing they had the money which they lost in that pack of foolish ness
 In lSSi the rsscals were driven from the seat and once more the grand old flag of Democracy float ed above the council halls of the L. s., and there was dry grin which the republicans became sub. ject to. But determined to ac. complish thelr wicked and decep' tive design, they continued their efforts. They said, i've will give this party new name, and those Southern fools will know no bet, ter and will join Us unknowingly, and we will have the next presi. dent. So they sent Harper to canvass the South. Watch out, he wants to be next president. Three cheers for McRae.

 Editor PICAYUNE.--On the lGth of July a large number of the peo- pie of Nevada county, met at Pres colt, tG hear Jessie Harper tell of the advent ofthe new (union labor party. Col. T. C. McRae, a man of genius and ability, our own fellow citizen, completely met his false theories and interpretations, showing their falSity. Col. McRae's able speech eau not fail to impress itself upon our people, and weld a good influence. Let us remember "Our Tom Is q true ane tried man, and sustain him as the people ill revolutionary times did Patrick Henry in the House of Burgesses in Virginia, against the Stamp act. And let us not go after strange, unknown men from distance. Col. McRae upholds the true prin- ciples-Democracy. Let Us all stand by this grand old party, and go not after strange Gods. l was glad to hear such eloquence and sound doctrine, as Col. McRae distinguished himself with, and de. molish his opponent so nice y, who but spoke the same speech we've often heard before, from green back leaders in this county. Long life and usefulness to our gifted and gallant McRae.

Woman's Veracity.

It is the opinion of theoloeians and lawyers and judges that as a rule women are truthful. Hence, the public rightfully attaches great value to the testimony of a lady as to the effect of medicine.
 Mrs. Mask is the wife of one of the most prosperous and intelll- gent farmers of AlcOra county, Miss, Edward Mask. After suf- fering two years with an ulcer that covered her left leg from the knee to the foot, recently she had been cured. Read what cured her.

The Wheel and Politics.

convention assembled. refused by a majority vote, to go into politics. McCracken & Co., got out Wheel ticket for State officers, which failed to get athlrd of the voting strength of the or. der. Some Greeubackers, Repub- licans and sorclcads are at their old game, trying to carry the az riculturaI Wheelers into politics, but we predict failure again, for such action would kill the organl- Zatlon.
 But there ar. many rcaso ns against such course. Below we give some good, comlnoh sense resolutions recently adopted by Sevier county Wheel;
 Whereas, At the April commu- nication of the county wheel the platform of the union labor party adopted at Cincinnati by the Knights of Labor at their last an nual meeting, was referred back to the the subordinate wheels for further consideration by them be fore final action by the county wheel in July, therefore be it,
 Resolved, By Red Colony wheel No. 425, of Seyier county. Arkan- sas, that We oppose the adoption of said platform by the sounty wheel for the following reasons, to-wit;
 First-We no not believe the country demands the formation of new or third party, and experl. enee teaches Us that all otforts to form or establish third parties have been entire failures and ot no benefit to the masses.
 Second The interest of the Knights of Labor and the wheel. l CTS are opposite ln various ways, namely III this the former are i largely n0n.producing but con suming class, and demand the highest wages for the tewest hours of work, and articles of consump- ton at the lowest prices. On the other hand, the wheel organlza. ton is composed in the main of the agricultural class and demand living prices for farm products when put on the market, and req sonable prices for articles pur- chased by them.
 Third-We demand tariff "fol revenue only and consider every cent of tax levied above the nee essary expenses of the govern ment to be a burden to the people and demand reform of said abuse.
 Fourth-The Knights of Labor are principally engaged Ill manu featuring and favor a "protectivt tariff for protection's sake" whicl adds an additional burden to the already overladen farmer in hi: purchase of everything he has to buy.
 Fifth-The democratic party has always been the friend of the la boring man, and we still have faith in the just principles firs' enunciated by Jefferson and still advocated and followed by his dis. ciples.
 Resolved. That we heartily en- dorse and approve the action o1 the democratic house ofrepresent- ativcs in retaining from railroads and other corporations nearly 100, 100000 acres of the public land, granted to them by the re- publican party while in power.
 Resolved, We endorse the ac- tion of President Cleveland in en- deavoriug to protect the rights of individuals against the encroach- mentS of corporations ot all kinds.
 Resolved, We deem it unwise and detrimental to tue interest of the wheel to form combination with any new party whatever, but leave every member free to eXer else both hls political and relig- ious rights as he may desire.
